Measured dynamic tooth force at nominal test conditions (from Krantz, Ref. 10). The solid line is the measured data, and the dashed lines are replicates of the measured data spaced along the ordinate at the equivalent of one tooth pitch. The zones of double tooth contact (DTC) and single tooth contact (STC) are illustrated.

Scanning electron images of a coated and tested gear. (a) Low resolution image showing the contact pattern (slightly darker area) and grinding patterns. The left portion of the image is the fillet and root region, and the tip of the gear is out of the field of view toward the right. (b) Medium-resolution image of the region near the low point of contact on the tooth. (c) High-resolution image from an area of Fig. 6(b) showing the spherical microtopography of the coating and smoothing of an asperity ridge.
